Key Results
The Challenge
PDS is a multinational provider of integrated and customized solutions for global retailers and brands. Known for their ethical approach and focus on sustainability, PDS leverages its design expertise and industry experience to cater to the fast-evolving preferences of consumers in the fashion industry.
Operating across various markets and regions, PDS generates vast amounts of data, making it difficult to analyze,and manage across multiple entities. This impeded its operational efficiency, resulting in overall decline in productivity and employee morale.
Some of the key challenges include:
Fragmented and disparate data across departments, hindering a comprehensive visibility of overall operations
Data quality issues due to Inconsistent formats, duplicate records, and missing data, blocking accurate analysis
Outdated infrastructure across legacy systems, limiting scalability and agility.
Lack of strong security measures, impeding data protection compliance.
Our Solution
ACI Infotech partnered with PDS to implement a unified Enterprise Data Platform that centralized disparate data, improved quality, and enabled secure, and scalable analytics. Using Azure Data Lake, Synapse, Databricks, and Power BI, ACI consolidated multiple data sources into a single trusted repository with automated validation and governance controls.
Apart from that, a hybrid cloud architecture ensured performance and scalability, while multi-layered security safeguards protected sensitive information and supported compliance. With this transformation, business users gained self-service access to curated datasets, enabling faster insights and data-driven decisions.
